This location has the best patio in the Cleveland area. It feels like each seating area is secluded and there is an ample amount of shade provided by the 2 giant tress inside of the area. I can't get enough time outside during the short Cleveland summers, so that's why I chose this place to meet up with friends I haven't seen in a year. My main reason for choosing this place was solely for the patio, but I will definitely go back rain or shine, or snow and wind. The food is that freaking good! Oh wait, we had drinks first so I should talk about them. There are plenty of local and craft beers on tap and there is a decent variety. I started off with Revolution's Anti Hero. As I perused the cocktail section, I knew I would be switching. Beer before liquor, never sicker! I ordered the Tommy's Tree which had tequila, rosemary syrup, and lime juice. Yum. Someone at our table ordered a gin drink (I don't remember the name) and it had muddled basil and blueberries. I'm not a gin drinker, but this is what I'm ordering the next time I go. I guess that makes me a gin drinker? Enough shenanigans, I want to talk about the food. I had some of the best food I've eaten in a long time. We started out with the crispy chicken livers with apple liver pate. Holy frijoles, I couldn't get enough of that pate. It is super creamy and flavorful and paired perfectly with the crispy liver. Oh we also ordered the Graffiti Artist, which allows you to pick smaller portions of 3 different appetizers. We ordered the wings, based on the waiters suggestion, French onion egg rolls, and chorizo and guacamole potato skins. The wings were my favorite. As for our dinner selections, we ordered the shepherds pie, monte christo, chicken parmesan, and 4 side plates for sharing. I want to talk about the monte christo. This is not a sandwich. It isn't laden with powdered sugar as one might think. It is just some of the best sliced pork tenderloin on top of french toast that you'll ever eat! My mouth is watering just thinking about. Every plate we had was delicious. I love the creative ways each dish was presented. And yes.......we saved room for dessert. Not realizing it, we had actually been there for 3 hours already! Not because of the service, but because of the awesome time we were having. We split the cereal dessert. I loved it because it wasn't too sweet. It's actually quite refreshing. And who doesn't love fruity pebbles!

I was a fan of their food at Cork & Cleaver, so when Brian Okin and Adam Bostwick brought their food to my neighborhood, I knew I was in trouble - and they and their staff do not disappoint. The work they did to upgrade everything about the building and the patio has made Graffiti a warm and welcoming space inside, and returned the patio to being one of the most relaxing and perfect outdoor spaces in Cleveland, The food is what they do - and their take on food you know - makes you want to get to know it the way they see it. The Monte Cristo, Chicken Parm and Shepherd's Pie all have the flavors you know -- but the presentation is unique and the flavors are what you like about each dish - but just - better. The salads -- the BLT salad makes you realize - a BLT does not need bread, or mayonnaise - the beet salad is just summer on a plate and the wedge is what that salad should be - everywhere. My favorite appetizer is the French Onion Egg Rolls == all the flavors of your favorite soup -- in a crispy wonton wrapper with au jus for dipping. Delivered hot with the cheese all melty -- yep. The Graffiti Burger has ended my search for my favorite burger in Cleveland - all of the ingredients sounded good ... then they were all together in my mouth -- CAB Burger, Fried Tomatillo, Banana Catsup, Pickled Banana Pepper, Goat Cheese ... so much better than any one thing by itself. The desserts run the flavor gambit - light, filling, tart, comforting -- We LOVED the Snicker's Bread Pudding -- we hope that one makes a come back. They also have a fantastic Sunday brunch -- I'm still waiting to enjoy it on the patio - in the sun - maybe Mother Nature will cooperate soon. But we did try to chorizo pop tart -- buttery pastry, spicy chorizo topped with a cold, perfect mound of guac. Plate lickable is all I can say. Go, get a seat on the patio - order whatever sounds good to you -- it will be.

We tried the French Onion egg rolls (good), as well as the Monte Cristo and a Swordfish special. The Monte Cristo (which is so much more than a Monte Cristo) was amazing and highly recommended. The swordfish was in a sausage ragu and was impeccably plated and delicious. The patio is really great - definitely eat outside if you can.

Amazing Date night atmosphere. We loved everything we ordered. Quality made unique drinks on the lovely patio at night time. We had fried oysters for an appetizer, we even ate the mixed greens garnish which was in a delicious vinaigrette. He had the chicken parm and loved it. I had the burrito and appreciated the ingredients but would only give it a B- for taste (more sauce would probably make it better). We absolutely loved the service and atmosphere and would go again to try more of the menu.

Everything on the menu sounds so good it's truly hard to make a choice. I didn't have any bozzie drinks but I will say that the cocktail menu looks awesome! I had their coffee and for whatever reason, it was really great coffee! Awesome patio. Good atmosphere. Must try.

Sunday night dinner date with the girlfriend. It was a long weekend of partying so I drank water with this one. Had heard good things so we thought we'd try it out. Never had been to Reddstone but from what I hear there haven't been many decor changes. Started with the chips and dip- apparently this app changes, it was homemade pork rinds with a sour cream based dip- tasty The waiter was super quirky but fun. He had an obvious passion for this place and the owner/chefs. He encouraged us to try the graffiti artist- an appetizer sampler, We chose the pb&j wings, ribs, and potato skins. All outstanding. The wings blew me away. Tender inside, crispy outside, just perfect. We split a blt salad- the pork belly was delicious. Had a "cereal" dessert to finish it off. We never made it to entrees which was fine with us. Everything we had was unique, well executed, and most importantly delicious. This place exceeded any expectations I had.

I'm so glad to see such a fantastic restaurant takeover the old Reddstone space in Battery Park! Reddstone was known for mediocre food and an amazing patio space. It was always unfortunate to have to sacrifice a good meal to enjoy al fresco dining on the patio, well now Graffiti brings you amazing food and an amazing patio. What a win for the neighborhood. Seriously, the food is amazing. Don't let some of the names on the menu fool you. They are really culinary masterpieces and the prices are great too. The monte cristo meal was an entree inspired by the famous sandwich. The pork was so incredibly tender and flavorful with mouthwatering raspberry and cream sauce. The beers on draught selection was extensive and Graffiti offers a great cocktail selection. All their desserts looked amazing. I tried the snickers bread pudding, which was peanut and caramel filled ... delicious. I also cannot stress how nice the back patio is on this restaurant. It's by far the nicest in Cleveland.
(5)Erik Y.
Amazing mixed drinks, always tinkering with their great menu, guaranteed you'll taste something new and find a reason to come back and eat something you didn't get a chance to try yet!

I'm going to start by stating what this place isn't, which doesn't impact this review score in any way. This place is not anything like the old Reddstone. That place was a neighborhood bar. It had its problems and now its gone. In it's place, we have Graffiti, which is more of a restaurant. Yes, it's a restaurant. I struggle to call it a gastropub as Mark I. noted, because the prices place this more towards an occasion spot. The meals aren't too expensive, but at the same time, I can go to Lolita and get charcuterie, chicken livers and a burger (when it was on the menu) for the same price. There are a lot of places like this and I wish the number of neighborhood bars with neighborhood prices in our area wasn't in the decline. With that said, the food is good, the service is good, and I can't knock the rating just because the new owners went in a different direction. I just wish I could still get basic burgers and wings and basic prices. I'll certainly return, but probably not for a couple months. So, service and food and drinks is 5 stars, price is 4 stars (most of this feels $1 to $2 too much), ambiance is 5 stars. My only major complaint is the charcuterie. The texture never seems right every time I get charcuterie from Saucisson. Since every restaurant in Cleveland has to do some sort of board these days, there's better charcuterie to be had.

I've been here twice now for dinner. Sat out on the lovely patio the first time and was thoroughly impressed with the food and service. Our waiter was attentive but laid-back and very informed about the food/drink selection. It was definitely one of the most memorable dinners out I've had this year. Our second visit was during a Cavs game, and the weather was rough so all the patrons were confined a relatively small inside seating area. I love the decor though, especially the graffiti'd tables. Our server was a nice guy, and equally enthusiastic about telling us about the menu. He quickly brought us a few varieties of popcorn to try, which was a nice little touch. Cause this girl is a popcorn fiend! Somewhere during the course of dinner our service seemed to go downhill though...our waiter would disappear for 5-10 minutes and then re-appear only to chat with another table for another 10 minutes. Maybe it slipped his mind that we hadn't placed our entree order yet, because it took us at least a half hour after sitting down to do so. And we were hungry! Thank god for the popcorn. After eating, we were trying to get out of there so we could get home and watch the second half of the game...but it also took us quite a while to ask for our check. Anyway, that was frustrating. BUT all of that aside, this food is playful but keeps its integrity. They do a lot of de-construction and re-construction of well-known dishes -- like the Monte Cristo and the Shepherd's Pie -- that are outstanding. I'm somewhat skeptical about dishes that sound like they might be trying too hard to be cutesy. Not everyone can execute a creative concept when it comes to food, but the flavors and presentation were very strong in all the dishes we've tried. And between the two times I've been here, we've tried 6 of the 8 entrees. My favorite is probably still the Monte Cristo, although the omelette is a mighty impressive dish. They must use almost a full carton of eggs in that thing! The Shepherd's Pie is a stunning dish, and so yummy, but I would've like a little more of the parsnip/rutabega cake on the bottom and maybe a little bit less lamb. If you're someone who likes a protein heavy plate, then have at this dish! Also: ORDER THE FRENCH ONION EGG ROLLS.

Great new restaurant owned by same people as Cork & Cleaver in Broadview Heights. They have a limited menu buy everything I tried was delicious. The chicken parmesan is a small portion but very different than your typical chicken parm- it is shredded dark meat chicken confit that is slowly baked over a bed of home made spatzel & marinara sauce. The chicken was tender, juicy and delicious. The snickers bread pudding was amazing- has chunks of snickers and peanuts in it served with vanilla ice cream. I also tried the moscow mule which was good- as expected. Service was excellent, fast and friendly.
(4)Erin B.
Couldn't wait to check out this place. I've heard only fabulous things about their original restaurant Cork & Cleaver but unfortunately haven't been. Since Graffiti is close to me I had to see what it was about! Absolutely loved everything - the food, staff, and atmosphere. I had been to Reddstone several times before and they definitely updated the inside a decent amount. Turned the upstairs into dining with a nice lil fireplace. The bar area looks pretty much the same but with a few updates. Love the 'graffiti' artwork and bright accent colors they use. Can't wait for the patio to open. The food was on another level. We got the ribs to share and they were fall off the bone so good. For entrees we got the burger and the Monte Cristo- both of them were not ordinary at all. The burger had so many different flavors that all complimented so well and was done to perfection. The Monte Cristo by reading the description you would think would be very sweet but no no everything went perfectly together and the pork was so tender. For dessert we got the snickers bread pudding which was just yum. Really wanted to splurge and get 'the fat kid' but for two people seemed a bit too much - when I come back with 4 or more people it's going down! The staff was so wonderful and friendly and knowledgable. Seriously great experience and I will be back so many times - have a feeling this place will be hard to get a table on weekends in the coming months.

Brian and Giuseppe put together a customized rehearsal dinner menu on their awesome patio for me, that had some critical guests raving. They are as good as it gets.
(5)Justin H.
5 stars don't come easy, but Graffiti really is "as good as it gets" in Cleveland. Graffiti's burger is definitely a contender for "best burger in Cleveland," as it combines salty, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors with the meaty goodness of a high quality beef patty. Additionally, where else in Cleveland can one find fried chicken livers with a side of chicken liver mousse, and a chicken fat aioli? Chef Okin has a knack for layering flavors in a way that yields a complex dish without being inaccessible to those who shun the "foodie" label. Call it haute bar food? I don't know, but everything I've had, which is to say damn near everything on the menu, has been spot on. Unquestionably one of the most compelling (and humble) chefs on the Cleveland scene right now.
(5)Rachael N.
Mmmm tasty and different. Although not to the caliber of Cork N Cleaver, Graffiti was indeed very different and interesting. - small interior- but we were seated right away, in a shared long table. -appetizers: ordered the graffiti artist- whew, big portions! -Bologna fried rice: Bologna was good, however being Chinese, I wasn't a fan of the soy sauce laden rice. But I'm sure people like it. -fried chicken wings: whew that was real tasty! Meaty and good, especially with the sauce. -potato skins: man, they were loaded potato skins! Super flavorful, tasty, and pretty heavy- loved the chorizo in it! - dinner: graffiti burger- a tasty delicious burger. Sadly, the banana ketchup didn't really taste like banana, but overall, the burger was flavorful and tasty. - drinks: tried their version of their vanilla dark n stormy, but it was strong. Prob would go with something else next time. The desserts looked great, but we were way too full!! Next time... I give Graffiti a thumbs up though!

If you consider yourself even a tiny tiny TINY bit of a foodie and haven't yet been to Graffiti, I respectfully suggest you change that. Today wouldn't be too soon. Yes, it's that good. Rephrase: yes, it's that great. My wife and I have been familiar with Chef Brian Okin's work since he was making magic at Benvenuti in Broadview Heights. We were pretty bummed when he left. However, when Brian and his brother-in-law Adam Bostwick opened Cork & Cleaver in the former Benvenuti spot we just KNEW it was going to be great. And it was. IS. While we were anxious to try their new place in the old Snickers location it somehow took us seven months to do so. Please learn from our mistake and don't wait. Graffiti is special. Last night we took advantage of their lovely patio to enjoy a gorgeous evening. Giuseppe was our server (I'd love to have a beer with this interesting guy. Bet he has a thousand fun stories) and was excellent. We started with perfect beet salads. For entrees my wife had the Walleye and I the Shepherd's Pie. Both were impossibly good and uniquely flavorful versions of traditional dishes. That, folks, take skills. Many skills. And let me tell you, it was the first time in my life I actually "ooo'd" and "ahhh'd" over hush puppies. HUSH PUPPIES. And, don't judge. I'm guessing you'd try one then bribe the staff to stuff a plain paper bag with about 20 of those tasty critters so you could race home to shamelessly eat yourself into a stupor. Yes, you would. After dinner Brian graciously gave us a tour inside, and they did a beautiful job on both levels. The bar area already had SO much character so they only changed what would add to it. If you are you into stained glass windows I encourage you to make a reservation upstairs (or at least get up there for a look) and enjoy what local artists have created. Heck, even if you're NOT into stained glass (admittedly, like me) you will still be impressed. It's a warm and welcoming room we plan on visiting on cold miserable Cleveland evenings. Which means we'll have plenty of opportunities. And we can't wait. Congratulations to Brian and Adam for (again!) creating another marvelous destination restaurant. Do yourself and your tastebuds a major favor and get there soon. Edited to add: Meant to mention that I saw a brunch menu and it looks outstanding, too. Can't wait to try it. And what's really cool is they serve brunch on Sunday until 8 pm.

The service was really slow. Yes I was part of a group of 12, but it still seemed to really drag. While it'd be gracious to give the service a 4, the food deserves 6+ so I'll average my rating out to 5 stars. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to Shepherd's Pies. I love a good traditional SP, but have lately been discovering really modern new takes on the dish. I recently said Butcher and the Rye in Pittsburgh deserved the title for most creative SP with their liquid potato foam, but Graffiti has stolen their title. The SP at Graffiti first of all visually resembles nothing like SP. My first thought was that I was served the wrong dish because it looked like a filet of salmon on my plate at fast glance. That salmon turned out to be a brick of braised lamb. That was set on top a Parsnip Potato pancake and then the traditional inclusions of peas and carrots were strewn about the dish. I loved it!! I love when chef's are brave and creative enough to totally deconstruct a dish and bring it back as something new and the chef here has gone above and beyond doing that. Do note however that if you don't like the menu you might be out of luck. One person in my party wanted to add a simple chicken breast to a salad and the kitchen was not able to accommodate that.
(5)Lefemme M.
A fan of everythibg plus the service was fantastic. The perfect meal I would say... We sat in the patio and had a wonderful time, the drinks were Delish the mule I got was refreshing and the kick of lime i wanted. The appetizer was fabu the WINGS people soooo good !!! We got the trio and it was worth it. I had the stuff peppers and pasta and man it was heaven... My boyfriend had the Monte cristo and perfect pork PERFECT! We were beyond satisfied with the service and the meal along with the patio Ambiance. So I say try it right meow!
(5)Danielle S.
I loved the patio at this place when it was still Reddstone, so I was excited to see what the new owners did with the place. Well, it's still beautiful as ever outside. Shaded by trees, you can enjoy a nice breezy meal surrounded by plants and a cobblestone patio. It's very charming, and of course, there's a wall of "graffiti" in the back that looks nice. The menu is definitely "funky." You don't have too many options, and we were kind of surprised at the lack of vegetable options. But that didn't stop us from having a delicious meal. We came on Taco Tuesday, so we tried a couple veggie tacos for an appetizer (meh) and the Grainfitti Salad, which is a mix of lettuce and grains that was delicious and light. And oh, the polenta croutons, oh my! So good. I got the Walleye for dinner, and it was light and mild, with corn and hush puppies underneath. It was pretty good, not mind blowing. And Adam got the Monte Cristo, which is definitely an interesting, delicious spin on the traditional sandwich. There's a thick piece of french toast, topped by pork. Dessert took the cake. Not literally... it wasn't cake. But it was AMAZING. We got the S'mores. It was basically this amazingly smooth chocolate (ganache? mousse?) on top of a brownie and topped with marshmallow topping. Even if you only come for one thing, come for this dessert.

The culinary minds behind the amazing Cork & Cleaver ( ccsocialkitchen.com ) have done it once again. They've managed to transform a ho-hum, sub-par restaurant/bar into something guaranteed not to bore you or your palate. I won't go into the actual restaurant too much, as I feel my fellow Yelpers have already done a more than adequate job. Suffice it to say that if you want a loud bar thing there's one downstairs and if you want a more intimate restaurant dining thing that's upstairs. Oh, and the stained glass in the upstairs windows is a brilliant touch. Graffiti, which also sports the tag "a social kitchen" takes after its big brother with a hip but not too hip atmosphere and creative menu that's world's away from the rest of the pack. Now, I don't really understand what a social kitchen is supposed to be, probably just marketing schtick. I wasn't finding myself being any more/less social than usual within their confines and the staff sure wasn't all that talkative. Enough on that. You get my point. Speaking of the staff, I wasn't terribly blown away by the service and hospitality. We were greeted immediately upon entering and escorted upstairs, but our hostess and our waitress were more your strong silent types. Kinda serious. Believe me, I don't need a hug or sloppy, wet kiss when I go to a restaurant, but a smile and some recommendations would have been nice. The beer and cocktail list is short but sweet with 20 taps of craft beer averaging about $6.50 each (a handful of "don't bother" bottled selections) and a half dozen fancy-schmancy $10 cocktails with names like Take a Chance on Me and She's a Woman. Kudos for carrying some locals from the likes of Platform Beer Co., GLBC and Fat Head's. My inner beer geek was satisfied. The food, now this is where Graffiti shines. Like I said earlier, Graffiti is not yo mama's restaurant. Taking their cue from the unique creations at Cork & Cleaver, the chefs at Graffiti have really put together a great menu. It's full of the unexpected like bologna pate, fried chicken livers and bologna fried rice (they've got a thing for bologna) as well as some familiar favorites like wings and potato skins, neither of which will remind you of the local bar up the street. Here's something different (and better for you). Rather than bread, you get a little bag of seasoned popcorn to munch on while you wait for your food. Nice touch. For starters, we opted for the French onion egg rolls and Graffiti salad. Yeah, French onion egg rolls. Damn. They made my mouth their bitch and I loved it. Crispy wonton wrappers packed with caramelized onions and Gruyere cheese. It was better than its namesake and would make awesome drunk grub. The Graffiti salad was one of the most unique salads I've ever had. Whoda thought that shaved Brussels sprouts, brown rice and bulgar would get along so well and the house-made polenta croutons? Shyea. My only complaint, not enough of the champagne vinaigrette. It was a bit on the dry side. Perfect size for sharing, though, so keep that in mind. My wife did the appetizer/salad/pick from my husband's plate dealy and she went with the ribs and egg salad. Done corned beef style on top of some slaw and dollops of stadium mustard, the ribs were fall off the bone good. Another small gripe, they arrived at the table lukewarm. Not sure if this was their intention, but it just seemed like they should have been hot. The egg salad was comprised of Frisse, a split soft boiled egg, pickled onion, and celery. The touch of smoke from the paprika ailoi paired well with the acidic bite of the dill vinaigrette. For my entree I went with what has to be one of the greatest menu creations I've had in a very, very long time. Listed as simply "Omelette" on the menu, the name does nothing to prepare your face for what you're about to put into it. One of the fluffiest, perfectly cooked omelette's ever - this thing had to be 5" thick - covered with short rib chili and paired with a side of potato pancakes. Just. Damn. Good. Get it for lunch, get it for brunch, get it for dinner. Just get it. Graffiti is definitely a marked improvement over the previous tenant and a great addition to the Westside enclave of Battery Park. Their unique takes on classics and innovative new dishes are a welcome reprieve from the same-old-same-old that's being copycatted all over Cleveland. Locally-sourced ingredients, artfully constructed plates, delicious food. Sure, some slight hiccups along the way, but they didn't mar an otherwise delightful experience.

A+ service. Awesome atmosphere (it's the old Reddstone). Great cocktail & beer selection. Amazing food. Perfect portions. Price is right for the quality. Their Monte Cristo: Maple Brined Pork Tenderloin, French Toast, Mornay Crema, Raspberry Mostarda... One of the best things I've ever eaten. I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like chicken parm, but I'd eat theirs all day - fresh flavors, super tender. Their Chef's Whim Chips & Dip was like sweet potato nachos: black beans, cilantro, gingery sauce... Hope that's the chef's whim often b/c it was bomb. I think this is my new favorite place - we'll be back very soon!
(5)Cara L.
What a fantastic restaurant! For those of you who have never been to the area your GPS is not misleading you. This place is in the middle of a neighborhood. Now don't get me wrong I really liked Reddstone but I really like this new take on the place! The owners made the inside of the restaurant much more inviting! I was so happy to see that they changed the windows upstairs to bring in natural light. The most surprising thing about this new restaurant is that it wasn't more crowded on a Friday night! My friends and I were seated upstairs near the fireplace (because yes last week it snowed again)! We were the only ones dining upstairs for the first hour and that was quite alright because we were able to be our loud noisy selves. Our waiter has tried pretty much everything on the menu and was able to recommend some dishes to us. He also informed us that they will start having specials in the next week or two (sorry, no happy hour though). Free Popcorn to start you out with your drinks. The flavor of the day when I went was tomato cheddar. Our group of four started out with the Graffiti Artist in which you get to pick 3 items. We tried the PB&J Wings, French Onion Rolls and the Potato Skins. The French Onion Egg Rolls taste exactly how you think they would, like french onion soup and delicious! The PB&J Wings were interesting. The wings have a great crunchy skin and are moist on the inside but we wanted the peanut butter sauce to have a little more umph! The potato skins were good but I can't review these as well since I do not like goat cheese. The potato was cooked perfectly and the chorizo tasted great but this is not something I would normally order. For our entrees we ordered the Monte Cristo, Graffiti Burger and Omelette. All were fantastic. The omelette looks better than any other omelette I have ever seen. It was extremely fluffy and not browned on the outside. Just a note for those ordering the Monte Cristo, it is a deconstructed Monte Cristo not an actually sandwich. Eat all the ingredients together and Yowza! is it fabulous! We of course also got 2 desserts to share: the Fat Kid and Snickers Bread Pudding. The Fat Kid was a little underwhelming but the bread pudding I would definitely order again! Make sure to check this place out! The food is great, the mixed drinks are delectable and the service is wonderful. I can't wait until patio season!

Graffiti has never disappointed me and continues to surprise me! The chefs here are talented and really have some unique takes on classic dishes. This time we went for brunch, and it's now my go to brunch place in Cleveland. Chorizo Pop Tarts? Yum. They're soft and crumble in your mouth. Served with guacamole. The Breakfast Board (charcuterie) has one cured egg yolk. Holy cow. That little egg yolk might have been my favorite part of the meal. It was soft and salty and so good! I could easily eat a whole bowl full of those things. Breakfast Meatloaf. Fantastic. Served with gravy and cheddar grits. I'm not a huge fan of gravy, and I hate grits, and this dish made me love both. Monte Cristo. Pork tenderloin on top of french toast with a raspberry sauce and some type of cream. Very similar to chicken and waffles, but better! The pork tenderloin was cooked to perfection and was tender as can be. I was super sad to find out they took the Snickers Bread Pudding off the menu... WHY?! It was soooo good and one of the best desserts I've ever had. They replaced it with some smores thing. Lame. Also, they can't serve alcohol before 1pm--only beer and wine. Still haven't been here for dinner, but will make it there eventually.
